Twitter will no longer show the quote retweet option as the company is reversing changes that it made its function. Twitter has added the quote retweet feature to help decrease the spread of misinformation online during the height of the US presidential election.
Twitter to go back to normal
The social media company wrote a statement on the platform about its decision to remove the feature. According to Twitter, the use of quote tweets increased but only 45% of the quote retweets had single-word affirmations and 70% of them had less than 25 characters.
Twitter added that the increase in quote tweets was also offset by an overall 20% decrease in sharing through both the retweet option and the quote retweet option. Because of this, the microblogging site will no longer prompt quote retweets from the retweet icon.
